HAIRDRESSERS IMPLEMENT Filed Feb. 9, 1940 Patented Nov. 4, 1941 HAIRDRESSERS IMIPLEMENT Janos Vegh, Pestszenterzsebet, Hungary Application February 9, 1940, Serial No. 318,158 I In Hungary February 22, 1939 1 Claim.

In the art of hair-dressing, for the combing of parts of hair previously treated with a heating iron or water a comb and a brush is necessary. These two implements are alternately used by the hair-dresser. When the combing or a part thereof is completed the comb is set aside and the brush used, and when treating a further part of the hair the .cycle is repeated, that is, the hair iscombed and then brushed, these operations being alternately repeated until the hair is completely finished. On the whole combing and brushing of the hair, the changing of the comb and brush is repeated on an average of from 8 to 10 times. This continuous changing of the comb and brush prevents the continuity of the work which means a great wasting in time and great inconvenience.

The hairdressers implement according to the invention eliminates the alternate and separate use of a comb and a brush. Its advantages are that it makes the work easy and much more speedy and comfortable.

The comb according to the invention is formed together with the brush from one piece in such a way that at one end of the implement there is the comb and at the other there is the brush. The two parts are firmly connected by the insertion of a short handle-like part. The comb is turned by about 30 in respect to the plane of the free bristle surface of the brush, so that by a simple movement of the 'wrist the implement may be alternately used holding it at its middle part, without the necessity of putting it down even once during the whole combing of the hair. Consequently the combing of a part of the hair is followed by the brushing operation 'so that the work, as compared with the method used up till now, may be done in a substantially shorter time.

In a further embodiment the combpart is continued in a rodlike elongated part for. the regulating and placing of the individual locks of the hair. This elongated part may be ar- Fig. 2 is a front view of the implement viewed from the comb end'thereof.

Fig. 3 is the side elevational view of a further embodiment of the implement.

The brush I is connected in the center by a short, handle-like part 3. In the embodiment" shown the part 4 holding thebristles of the brush and the handle 3 are made integral with the comb 2, but of course the brush-comb may be composed of several pieces if so desired. The comb 2 is turned in respect to the plane of the bristle surface of the brush with the angle a.

The angle no is about 30, which approximately corresponds to the greatest angle of turning of the wrist, so that holding the implement at its middle part 3, the comb and the brush may be alternately brought in the working position with a simple movement of the wrist. However the angle may be between 20 and 40 degrees.

In the embodiment according to Fig. 3, the comb part 2 of. the implementis continued in a rod-like elongated part 6, which serves for the adjusting and placing of the locks of hair. I

I claim:

In a hair-dressers implement, a brush having bristles, a comb, and a handle connecting the said brush with the said comb in such a way that the teeth of the comb form an angle with the surface of the said bristles greater than 20 and less than 40.
